Sony woudn't agree on releasing any documentation anyway. Believe me, I've tried very hard.

The manufacturer is most of the time more friendly. If their agreement with Sony doesn't prohibit them from distributing the docs, they can probably be persuaded to release them.

There are many kernel developers that will love to write such a driver, for zero money. The only problem is that it's quite difficult to write it without having access to the hardware. So you'll have to either find out a kernel developer already having this laptop or wanting to buy one or maybe you (with others) can buy such a laptop to a kernel developer who will write the driver in exchange.

I for one I'm very happy with my Apple laptop for now.
